Restraint—On a box or barrel acting as an operating table thepullet is confined for operation same as for that of pieces of strong cord are i3rocured, upon each end a loo]:> ismade. To one end a weight is attached (see A-A, Fig. 201), afterwhich the free end of one cord is looped above feet and the othercord is looped around wings. The pullet is now stretched fulllength—left side uppeiTnost—on table. This is a quick and inex-pensive method of restraint and at the same time a satisfactoryone for the operation. Animal Castration 219. Fig. 201—Restraint for Poulardeing. A-A, Weights at End of Cords; B, Leg of Fowl inLoop; C, Wings in Loop; D, Incision. Instruments—1. Caponiziiig knife (Fig. 116). 2. Spreaders(Figs, 117, 118, 119). 3. Haemostatic or tissue forceps (smallsize). 4. Curved scissors (Fig. 35). Breeds—It is not profitable to attempt to make poulardes fromthe small breeds of chickens. Better select those of the largerbreeds, viz.: Indian Games, Brahmas, Cochins, Langshans, Ply-mouth Rocks, Orpingtons, Wyandottes, etc. All make good i^ou-lardes. Anatomy—Some idea of the anatomy of the parts involved andtheir relation is necessary before progress can be made with thisoperation. Fig. 202 shows the egg cluster (E) which correspondsto the ovary in animals, and Qgg passage (F) which correspondsto the uterus in animals. This illustration was purposely madefrom a grown hen.
